dot.kde.org: Dutch Agency Equips 200 Users With NX-based KDE Desktops
2005-06-01 by Fabrice Mous

NoMachine's Dutch partner Xternal Solutions helps pilot a successful migration involving NX Technology with the KDE desktop for the Dutch Refugee Council.

dot.Kde writes: "Last weekend at Annahoeve in Achtmaal the Dutch Refugee Council of Midden Gelderland announced that they succesfully completed a pilot where they migrated 100 machines and 200 users using NX technology and the KDE desktop. Jasper van der Marel held a presentation during the Dutch KDE-PIM meeting where he explained how the current setup was done.

The goal was to reduce costs and to be less dependant on closed source software. At first the Dutch Refugee Council opted for a LTSP solution but because this was missing important compression features they choose the NX technology from NoMachine. Some of the applications used are OpenOffice.org, Kontact and Kiosktool..."

	Technology Brief


		Data encryption and security NX security is guaranteed at every layer involved in the communication process. NX uses SSH public-key encryption and 128 bit volatile random cookie generation.


		Multimedia support NX transparently tunnels Linux multimedia channels. Not only does NX play KDE and Gnome system sounds, but you can listen to MP3s played on the server and local workstation simultaneously.


		Unified support for all major remote desktop protocols Thanks to its outstanding compression performances, NX is able to deliver X, RDP and RFB remote sessions using the same client. This is achieved by translating "foreign" protocols into X-Window, the native protocol of NX.
